*It is not explained how the Daleks know of Harriet Jones. ''The Daleks might have researched major Earth history, particularly other alien invasions, so they might know that she had ordered the Sycorax ship to be shot down.'' ''The Cult of Skaro absorbed knowledge of Earth from a Torchwood staff member in Doomsday - this could easily have included knowledge of Harriet Jones. The infomation could have then been transferred from Caan's memory banks.'' ''It is also possible the Daleks statement was just included for comedic purposes, as everyone who Harriet Jones introduces herself to tells her that they know who she is.'' | *It is not explained how the Daleks know of Harriet Jones.

*At the end of [[Turn Left]] Bad Wolf was on the TARDIS. It's not there now at the beginning of this episode. ''They've travelled to Earth, just like Rose needed, so there is no need for the message to be there anymore. Presumably it was caused by the Chameleon Circuit since Rose had been directly linked with the TARDIS in ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]''. It's also possible, upon examination of ''Turn Left'' that only the Doctor saw the words, since Donna makes no reference to them appearing either in the previous episode or this one. It also could have been another place Rose sent the words in [[The Parting of the Ways]].'' | *At the end of [[Turn Left]] Bad Wolf was on the TARDIS.

*Why is evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins appearing on television to assert that the Earth has moved? Surely an astronomer would be more appropriate? ''Perhaps the appearance of the planets in the sky caused chaos which prevented experts from a more appropriate field reaching the television studio. Dawkins may already have been at the studio and so was able to make an appearance. Perhaps in this universe Dawkins maybe a biologoist and an astromomer aswell '' | *Why is evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins appearing on television to assert that the Earth has moved?

*Why did Davros feel the need to remove so many cells from his body with such speed? He could have grown one Dalek at a time while his cells grew back. Why was he content to leave his ribcge flayed open? ''Perhaps his mutation means he cannot heal properly, or perhaps Kaleds do not heal in the same way as humans do.'' | |||
